Description: DM2008091706:EAED:POLITICS:PERSONALITIES:MAY 1964 - The Quiet Revolt In The Land OF Blood - The people of Barotseland watched the colourful ceremonies with pride - and none was more proud than the Litunga's wives who gathered under a flock of Union Jacks in the palace's stockade.The Litunga's winter palace has the jolly atmosphere of some retired sea captain's home, even with a lantern at the door. Here his wives awaited the royal arrival, some in the traditional and intricate lollipop yellow shirts. His awesome handsome, 256 1b. senior wife, the Moyo, had not been feeling well lately. A Mongu doctor had suggested she slimmed, for a start cutting out sugar with her tea. (Photograph by Drum Photographer BAHA)
